Did it look like the photo/drawing on the pattern envelope once you were
done sewing with it? It actually looks worse.

Were the instructions easy to follow? The instructions are via
video accessed through Craftsy, but the presentation of the steps is not as
well thought out as it could be.

What did you particularly like or dislike about the pattern? The
drafting is very odd. There is a lack of curves compared with other
patterns: the neck line is very shallow and the armscye is more of an
angle than a natural curve.

Fabric
Used: Maggy London Paris Pink basketweave textured cotton suiting.I
got this fabric on sale for $1 a yard, so I had plenty to use for muslins.

Pattern alterations or any design
changes you made: I didn't bother with the armhole princess seams in
the bodice; I sewed shoulder princess seams since these fit my hollow chest
area much better. I did use the collar pattern and lapel shape, but the
results, as you can see from the picture, screams Goofy, not Pluto, but Goofy!Needless to say, I stopped while I was behind
and moved on to an established pattern.
